Psalm 32
A maskil#32.0 Perhaps instruction; it also appears in Pss 42, 44–45, 52–55, 74, 78, 88–89, 142; cf 47:7; the root is used in Ps 32:8. of David.
1The one whose wrongdoing is forgiven,
whose sin is covered over, is truly happy!
2The one the LORD doesn’t consider guilty—
in whose spirit there is no dishonesty—
that one is truly happy!
3When I kept quiet, my bones wore out;
I was groaning all day long—
every day, every night!—
4because your hand was heavy upon me.
My energy was sapped as if in a summer drought. Selah
5So I admitted my sin to you;
I didn’t conceal my guilt.
“I’ll confess my sins to the LORD, ” is what I said.
Then you removed the guilt of my sin. Selah
6That’s why all the faithful should pray to you during troubled times,#32.6 Correction; MT at a time of finding only
so that a great flood of water won’t reach them.
7You are my secret hideout!
You protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of rescue! Selah
8I will instruct you and teach you
about the direction you should go.
I’ll advise you and keep my eye on you.
9Don’t be like some senseless horse or mule,
whose movement must be controlled
with a bit and a bridle.#32.9 Heb uncertain
Don’t be anything like that!#32.9 Heb uncertain
10The pain of the wicked is severe,
but faithful love surrounds the one who trusts the LORD.
11You who are righteous, rejoice in the LORD and be glad!
All you whose hearts are right, sing out in joy!

Psalms 32

Confession and Forgiveness#Ps 32 Hebrew title: A poem by David.
1 #
Rom 4.7–8
Happy are those whose sins are forgiven,
whose wrongs are pardoned.
2Happy is the one whom the LORD does not accuse of doing wrong
and who is free from all deceit.
3When I did not confess my sins,
I was worn out from crying all day long.
4Day and night you punished me, LORD;
my strength was completely drained,
as moisture is dried up by the summer heat.
5Then I confessed my sins to you;
I did not conceal my wrongdoings.
I decided to confess them to you,
and you forgave all my sins.
6So all your loyal people should pray to you in times of need;#32.6 Some ancient translations need; Hebrew finding only.
when a great flood of trouble comes rushing in,
it will not reach them.
7You are my hiding place;
you will save me from trouble.
I sing aloud of your salvation,
because you protect me.
8The LORD says, “I will teach you the way you should go;
I will instruct you and advise you.
9Don't be stupid like a horse or a mule,
which must be controlled with a bit and bridle
to make it submit.”
10The wicked will have to suffer,
but those who trust in the LORD
are protected by his constant love.
11You that are righteous, be glad and rejoice
because of what the LORD has done.
You that obey him, shout for joy!
